Still stuck on the floor?
Find your float.

This program is for you if you want to learn a press handstand but don’t know how to get your feet off the floor or what to practise next.

You may be starting from scratch, or you may have tried plenty of drills without finding your float. The program gives you a structured path to follow, with exercises that connect the different parts of the press. You don’t need to hold a freestanding handstand before you begin.

I learned the press handstand at 49, so I understand what it feels like to wonder whether you’ve started too late.

Age alone doesn’t tell you what you can learn. Your starting point, recovery and consistency all matter. The program lets you work progressively, giving yourself time to develop the strength, mobility and coordination you need. You’re building your own press, at your own pace.

No. Learning to press and learning to hold a freestanding handstand are related skills, but they are different tasks.

You begin with the take-off: learning how to transfer your weight, support yourself through your shoulders and control your pelvis so your feet can become lighter. Next comes the halfway hold, where you develop control in the float. Extending into the full handstand comes later.

You can start learning the press before you can balance upside down.

You don’t need to arrive with all the strength and flexibility the finished press requires. Developing those qualities is part of the training.

The program includes preparation work and progressive exercises to help you build the abilities you need. You’ll also learn how hand pressure, shoulder support and pelvis control work together. Understanding that connection gives your strength and mobility work a clear purpose.

If you’re unsure whether the program suits your current starting point, email me before joining.

You don’t have to begin by attempting a full press into handstand.

The progression starts with the foundations and lower positions, so you can build familiarity with supporting your weight before extending higher. The program also includes exit practice to help you learn how to come out of a handstand.

Confidence takes practice too. You can repeat each stage and give yourself time to feel more comfortable before moving on.

Most sessions take around 15–30 minutes, with a suggested schedule of 5–6 days per week.

The follow-along format gives you a clear practice session, so you can spend your training time practising rather than deciding which drills to do. Adjust the schedule to your recovery and other activities, and repeat sessions when you need more time with a particular skill.

There is no single timeline for achieving your first float or full press. Your starting strength, mobility, coordination and consistency all influence the process.

Progress can begin before both feet leave the floor: a more controlled weight shift, steadier shoulder support or less reliance on pushing off with your toes. These are meaningful steps towards the float.

The progression helps you recognise what you’re developing and what to work on next, instead of judging every session only by whether you achieved a full press.

The press-learning approach does not require a wall, and jumping is not the goal.

You’ll practise transferring your weight into your hands and coordinating your shoulders and pelvis so your feet can leave the floor with control. The early stages let you work on that take-off before attempting to extend into a full handstand.

You’ll learn how to build the press as a connected movement—from your hands on the floor to the moment your feet lift.

The main progression is:

• Take-off: coordinate hand pressure, weight transfer, shoulder support and pelvis control.

• Halfway hold: develop compression, support and balance in the float.

• Extension: work towards opening into the full handstand while maintaining control.

The exercises develop these components together, helping you understand how each part contributes to the movement.

You receive:

• Structured online video training across three progressive levels.

• Follow-along practice sessions, preparation routines and technique explanations.

• A downloadable press handstand guidebook.

• Additional conditioning, mobility and handstand endurance training.

• Lifetime access, including future program updates.

You can also send me a practice video for a personal assessment, so I can help you identify an important adjustment in your own movement.

After completing your purchase, you’ll receive access to the online course area.

You can watch the lessons on your phone, tablet or computer and return to them whenever you want to practise. With lifetime access, you can repeat sessions and progress through the material at your own pace.

Yes. The program comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Use that time to explore the lessons and try the teaching approach. If the program isn’t right for you, email me within 30 days of purchase to request a full refund.

The guarantee gives you time to assess the program; it doesn’t mean you need to achieve a press handstand within 30 days.
